LGBT therapists in Elgin, IL

Hi, I'm Latosha Haywood, LCPC, with a Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University and I'm really glad you're here.

Before I became a therapist, I spent years as a 911 call taker, showing up for people in some of their scariest, most overwhelming moments. That work taught me something I carry into every session: that people are so much stronger than they realize, and that having someone truly in your corner can make all the difference.

If you're going through something hard right now, whether it's the heaviness of anxiety or depression, the echoes of past trauma, or just feeling like life has knocked you off balance, I want you to know that you don't have to figure it out alone. My door is open, and you can come exactly as you are.

Healing the mind starts with being truly heard. I’m Dr. Joetta Little, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who helps adults navigate a wide range of mental health challenges—from anxiety, depression, and trauma to mood, thought, and personality disorders. My approach combines evidence-based treatment with empathy and collaboration, creating a safe space where every story matters. Whether you’re seeking stability, clarity, or peace, we’ll work together to uncover what wellness looks like for you.✨ Your healing starts here—with care that sees the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

I've been practicing therapy for over 5 years. I have extensive experience with trauma, identity, and life changes. I have a master's in professional counseling.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Illinois, and I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, workplace stress, cultural stressors, identity-related concerns, and major life transitions. I strive to create a therapy space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected. I also provide an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ clients and approach my work through a lens of cultural humility, honoring each person’s unique background, identity, and lived experience.

Hello,

I'm Nick, and I'm delighted to extend a warm welcome to you. I'm committed to helping you find a path to better emotional well-being and personal growth.

Life can throw its curveballs, and it's natural to feel a bit lost at times. As a licensed therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe in the potential for positive change that exists within all of us.

I don't have a physical office space at this time. I can see clients virtually, or I can come to your home or office.

Please reach out to me at (319) 481-8505 or [email protected] for any questions!

Welcome! I provide encouraging, evidence-based, and culturally affirming individual therapy. I have a special affinity working with people of color, and I hold niche expertise in working with law and other graduate students, early-career attorneys, and professionals, and parents. Treatment concerns may include depressive and anxiety symptoms, relationship transitions, occupational or academic stress, and other adjustment issues. Most importantly, I welcome and serve clients across all genders, identities, and backgrounds.

My name is Macy (she/they) and I believe that therapy is for everyone, at any time, regardless of stressors in our environment. I received my MSW from St. Louis University '17 and my Doctor of Education from Western Illinois University '25. I look forward to working with anyone who is seeking to better themselves, understand their way of thinking, and how to navigate the stress in their lives.
